The OSCE Ministerial Council Meeting in Vilnius ended with the adoption of just another joint statement on Karabakh. However, it was to be expected, like the OSCE Minsk Group statements after each visit to the conflict zone. It’s worth noting that there was nothing new in the statement; simply to the expression “the parties agreed on the need to continue the negotiation process in the format of OSCE Minsk Group and to improve the atmosphere for progressing towards a peaceful settlement”, along with Deauville, Helsinki, Astana, Athens and Sochi, there also came Vilnius.
